Creed's origins lie in 2010 on weezer.com. Founding members, vocalist David J Stepp and guitarist 'Craka' Jak had been shameless nu-Weezer apologists who met on Weezer's official website. Upon uniting, Stepp and Jak realized that they had a mutual love for writing music and performing. After several discussions and times spent writing songs, many of which addressed themes of Christian theology and spirituality due to creative input by longtime friend PUPPIES! and Stepp's religious background as the stepson of a Pentecostal dentist, the duo held auditions which led to the recruitment of Stefan's mom on bass and a toilet trained raccoon on drums to complete the quartet. Originally known as The Icarus Factor, the band changed its name to Creed, much to 'Craka' Jak's annoyance, after a band Stefan's mom had previously played for called Maddox Creed. Their Christian friend, PUPPIES! was also briefly a member in November 2010 when the band was known as The Icarus Factor. 'Craka' Jak has now reaffirmed countless times that one day Creed will write and collaborate on songs that would go on to become tracks on Creed's future chart-topping debut album, My Own Prison and that the band will find local success and begin to play shows in bars and small venues throughout Tallahassee after he compiles and uploads the complete Weezer demo discography.

Crusaders Set Two School Records at Butler
Saturday, May 05, 2007Emilie Marsicek (Spalding, Mich./Carney-Nadeau) broke her own school record in the shot put, while Valparaiso's 4x100m relay team also set a new school record as the Crusaders competed Saturday at the Butler Twilight meet in Indianapolis, Ind.
Marsicek registered a toss of 44'8 �" in the shot put Saturday, surpassing her own previous best for the second time this year. The redshirt junior's toss was good for fourth place out of the 26-person field.
The 4x100m relay squad crossed the finish line in 48.33, taking third place out of seven teams. Three of the four runners were part of last year's squad that set the previous record of 48.63.
Danielle Nunnelly (Valparaiso, Ind./Valparaiso) was the only Crusader to earn individual medalist honors. The senior crossed the line first in the 800m run with a time of 2:15.47.
Ini Umana (Cottage Grove, Minn./Park) continued her solid freshman season in the discus throw, registering a personal-best toss of 133'9" to finish in sixth place. The toss also is the second-best in Crusader history. Lindsey Gilman (South Bend, Ind./Marian) moved into fourth all-time at Valpo in the javelin throw, finishing in second place with a throw of 117'5".
Carissa Heinold (Charleston, Ill./Charleston) also cracked an all-time top-five, clearing 10'6" in the pole vault, tied for third-best in Valpo history. Her effort was good for a tie for fourth place.
Valparaiso looks to put it all together this coming week as the Crusaders travel to Kansas City, Mo. to take part in the Mid-Con Outdoor Championships. The three-day meet begins Thursday, May 10 at 9:30 a.m.

android-metadata is a utility library for Android designed to simplify reading metadata values from AndroidManifest.xml. It can quickly access metadata values from anywhere with a few lines of code, read individual metadata values into type-specific variables, and read one or more metadata values into annotated Java classes.
CWIS (Collection Workflow Integration System) is a software package designed to help assemble, organize, and share information about resources online. The software conforms to international and academic standards for metadata while providing turnkey setup and a user-friendly interface, allowing resource collection developers (and end users) to focus on what they want to share (or find) without worrying about the technical details. It provides extensive support for cataloging resources with standardized metadata, which can then be automatically shared via an array of channels out to the larger Internet community, helping others find your work.
Vault is a Perl script to store away files, including metadata and integrity checks. Any file you want to keep, you put into a vault. This vault is just a directory. You can create any directory hierarchy allowed by your filesystem, and when you "vault" a file to a destination directory, a subdirectory is also created to store metadata files containing the MD5 hash of the file, the date it was vaulted, and any notes (i.e., metadata) you want to save regarding the file.
The Cainteoir Engine is a library for reading and recording different document formats (ePub, HTML, MHT, RTF, email, and others) to various audio output formats (such as PulseAudio, WAV, and Ogg/Vorbis). It also provides the following command-line tools: cainteoir, a front-end to the Cainteoir text-to-speech library; metadata, which extracts metadata from documents to RDF tuples; and tagcloud, which generates tag clouds and tag cloud data.
Athena Framework for Java is a full fledged enterprise object-relational mapping (ORM) framework that employs metadata as mapping configuration. It greatly simplifies Java Web application development by removing the requirement of manual mapping and manual database schema updating. In addition to features like Java object persistence, powerful EJBQL querying execution, and comprehensive code generation, Athena has built-in support for multi-tenancy, which enables developers to build cloud applications easily. Athena can be easily integrated with other libraries like Struts or Spring to provide full stacks of service.
Flac-utils is a toolkit for managing FLAC files. Its primary usage is syncing metadata between sets of FLAC files. Flac-utils also provides a Python module called flac_compare that can be used separately. The utilitiy consist of three tools: flac-sync, which syncs a file tree of FLAC comments for files with the same audio-part; flac-diff, which compares two FLAC files' metadata information and shows the differences; and flac-add-picture, which adds album cover art to the files using Amazon.

A word from Luce
Awarded a Michelin star five years consecutively, Luce features an urban setting that is modern and sophisticated, yet stunningly warm and inviting. The main dining room features floor-to-ceiling-windows adorned with sheer metallic gold curtains. Hand-blown Italian bubble-like lamps provide a
flattering glow to the dark tropical wood accents and elegantly appointed tables. The globally inspired New American menu reflects the bounties from the surrounding farms of San Francisco and changes according to freshness and seasonality. Each dish is artistically created and highlights an inventive flair for marrying diverse flavors with natural organic ingredients into a gastronomic delight. An award-winning wine program, designed by Wine Steward John Wight offers a superb collection that inspires daring pairings at prices that encourage exploration. Wine Spectator Award of Excellence four years running.

Diner Reviews
Overall the food was good, not
spectacular. There was a very nice buffet and attentive chefs to explain the dishes. The bacon eaters in my party raved about the meat selection. I enjoyed the fruit and yogurt, but the pastries were mediocre. Wait staff was very attentive, they did live up to the expectation of stellar, subtle service. Room is beautiful. Very nice place for families with children; you can tell the staff love having kids around. My espresso was good, served sans lemon rind, but it's seldom served this way anywhere in this country. Maybe the Michelin folks don't visit for Easter Brunch. Because of their selection and ambiance we would do this again, yet I do hope they bring the caliber of the food up a notch. "
Dined on 4/20/2014
The food was very good and
everything was well executed but they did not step outside of their comfort zone. It's something I expect from a restaurant that advertises that it is a one star Michelin. Because Luce advertises the one star Michelin we were expecting to be wowed but it fell short of that. Each server should be knowledgeable about every dish and be able to describe how each dish was prepared and where the ingredients were sourced. The service was good however not exceptional - they should be seamless and stealth. The main dish was excellent. The dessert was good but on the safe side, nothing extraordinary - I could have made that pot de creme at home. "
Dined on 4/14/2014
Who could ask for anything more?
The food was outstanding: innovative, perfectly presented and delicious. The wine service, and in fact all of the service was beautifully done and made us feel very much at home. During our stay in San Francisco, we ate at three other top restaurants and Luce was by far the best food and most enjoyable experience. Thank you to everyone at Luce for a memorable evening!"
Dined on 4/18/2014
I normally do not go to
restaurants that are in a hotel, and actually booked the reservation by accident, but it was a very fortuitous accident. The food was amazing and the service superb. We had a luxurious 4 hour dinner. The staff never rushed us which added to the splendor of the dinner. The food was both simple and complicated and very very good. I would go here again."
Dined on 4/16/2014
3 courses lunch menu, nothing is
good except the fish dish. The dessert is surprisly ..... Bad!!"
Dined on 4/3/2014
We made a huge mistake and went to
Luce for Sunday lunch which turned out to be only a brunch menu. The food was awful, under seasoned and just unpleasant. This is one restaurant which does not deserve any recognition, it was the worst meal I have ever booked via Opentable."
Dined on 3/23/2014
Looking for a Friday night special
occasion dinner and hit upon Luce. There was a coffee-ice cream, cocoa with Veloute of Celeriac & Pear amuse bouche to start. We settled on largely seafood theme: salmon confit, cured amberjack for starters, and lobster for entree. All were beautifully prepared and served. Two great desserts also. The sommelier picked us out a great companion wine Chene Bleu Aliot."
Dined on 3/21/2014
We had gone on a night where a
local culinary school was on there second night of a cooking competition. The food was amazing a duck main course with a salmon starter. Some of the most flavorful food we have had out in quite some time. And it was all cooked up by a culinary student. Great night."
Dined on 3/16/2014
Daniel Corey, the executive chef
at Luce, has a passion that shows in his food. We were blessed to be able to taste every appetizer and 4 of the main courses. Some highlights were the risotto with a poached like egg and black truffle on top. Just listening to him explain each dish was enough to make your mouth water. If you like wonderful flavor combinations that can be found in a delicious celery soup, wagyu beef that melts in your mouth, amberjack sashimi with sauces to delight, mmm so many good ones. The wine guy was fun and knowledgeable too. All in all they gave us super special service and amazing food. Knowing that this place can perform at such a stellar level will bring us back to try again."
Dined on 3/1/2014
Atmosphere of a convention or
airport restaurant. Rude service. Food not freshly prepared. Overpriced. Waiters setting breakfast place settings as we were eating diner. Michelin star? Why? Avoid. One of the worst dining experiences in a long time."
Dined on 3/8/2014
I had a business meeting there
during a large convention at Mascone. The restaurant was beautiful, clean and the staff was very accommodating. We were able to conduct our business with minimal disruption. Most importantly, the food was AMAZING! This was the best meal/experience I have had in a very long time!"
Dined on 2/25/2014
Stylish, delicious, and warm
ambiance...my first time in Luce and I was I total awe! Our server was very courteous and really cared for our needs. Bravo Luce for making me a believer and loyal repeat customer!"
Dined on 2/26/2014
For Valentines day that hey had a
special menu, 2 choices for each course which we shared and all were wonderful. The chef is extremely talented with his flavor pairings and presentation. The wait staff could be a little more on their game, they were not bad, just not as refined as the atmosphere and the food. Overall a pleasant surprise, one does not expect this level of cuisine out of a hotel per se, but this is a greg place especially if you have a large group, or need a place that is obviously consistent and dedicated to the food they prepare and serve."
Dined on 2/14/2014
We celebrated Valentines eve at
Luce and it was perfect. The service was excellent and the food was exquisite."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Service was not up to Michelin
standards - forgot our amuse bouche. Food was pedestrian. Go to Sons and Daughters, Fleur de Lys or Jardiniere for better food and experience."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Luce's food is fresh, inventive,
and delicious. Every time we've tried something new here we've been extremely pleased by the creative flavors and combinations of ingredients. While some higher-end restaurants place perhaps too much emphasis on visual pyrotechnics, Luce always emphasizes flavor and texture while still delivering very attractive plates. The wine selection is very good. The very approachable sommelier, John, knows his producers, flavors and as a result makes terrific recommendations. He's also very down to earth, so no matter what your wine experience, you'll be in good, friendly hands. Service at dinner has always been good. The wait staff are all friendly and know their food. The room's attractive."
Dined on 9/14/2013
We ordered the Dine About Town
menu and the service was as good as usual. We will definitely go back there again."
Dined on 1/30/2014
Came here for Dine About Town with
my boyfriend. There were two options for each of the three courses so we ordered both and split so we could try everything on the Dine About Town menu and ordered drinks as well. It was a solid (but not exceptional) appetizer, main course, and drink. The desserts were not sweet and didn't taste very good. The judges on Food Network who "don't like sweet desserts" would probably think the desserts here were not sweet enough. Overall it was a decent meal, but I don't know how Luce has a Michelin star (I've been to State Bird and they deserve theirs). There are definitely better restaurants in SF without one. I will not be coming back."
Dined on 1/26/2014
This was our first dining
experience with a Michelin star-rated restaurant. We came for DAT 2014. We were very impressed by the presentation and flavors of the food. The service was impeccable and well-coordinated. The staff was very friendly."
Dined on 1/26/2014
SF has an endless supply of
michelin-starred restaurants, so it feels silly going to a hotel restaurant (even if it's one of the starred ones). However, the food was delightful. Not as inventive as some, but consistently good. And the waiter was great. My only complaint is that the wine pairing was poor. I don't even have 10 bottles at home and I felt like I could have done a better job with those. Also, beware that it's always empty on a Friday or Saturday night. This is a business traveler hotel, after all."
Dined on 1/25/2014
Good lunch food - service was
quick - so its easy to get in and out. The beet salad was tiny considering the price. We had Chicken Club sandwiches and they were good - chicken was moist and the bread was toasted nicely. The service staff was quick but a uninformed about the components in the Duck Leg Confit Salad. The upholstery was badly stained. Price point was ok for a working lunch but not priced for personal spend."
Dined on 1/19/2014
New Year's dinner at Luce - we had
a nice big booth for a table which was nice, but don't love the fact that the restaurant is situated in the Intercontinental Hotel lobby. The food looked better than it tasted for the most part and I did the wine pairing which was quite disappointing as two of my dishes were finished before the wine for those dishes was actually served. The portions were not large and we left feeling hungry after a 5 course meal. The presentation of the dishes was very good, but the flavor was just ok (although we did have one prawn dish that was fantastic) - we really thought we were going to be more impressed given the Michelin star and at the end of the night felt quite underwhelmed unfortunately."
Dined on 12/31/2013
Excellent and creative tasting
menu and wonderful ambience. However, the level of service does NOT deserve a Michelin star. They DID have very friendly staffs, but one would expect MUCH more from them with a star, such as checking on water/wine glasses periodically, swiping bread crumbs off the table after each course, re-folding napkins when a diner leaves the table to visit the men's/ladies' room, pacing each course appropriately by watching the diners, just to name a few details that were NOT done during our visit. Although not expected, we did mention that we were celebrating a birthday when we were making a reservation, but no word/comment, not to mention a complimentary dessert came from the restaurant. Probably will not visit again."
Dined on 1/4/2014
I took my mom here for her 50th
birthday. We did the chef's tasting menu. There were 10 dishes each with a wine pairing. Each dish was artfully constructed and light. The servers were very friendly and prompt. The only downer is that we had to pay $30 to park at the hotel. The chef tasting menu was great but if I were to do it over, Id just order the old fashioned way. There were some tasty looking things on the regular menu I feel I might have enjoyed more than getting a bunch of different things, a few of which I really liked. Definitely a fun restaurant. Business casual attire, be prepared to spend around $300+ on dinner and drinks for 2."
Dined on 11/30/2013
Spectacular yet reasonably priced
holiday menu. Excellent wine pairing, well worth the extra cost. Knowledgeable and approachable sommelier. Service was friendly, informed, and efficient, as expected for a restaurant of this caliber. Will definitely return. Minor critiques: asked for a quiet table, but were seated next to the "bistro" section, outside of kitchen entrances, so a bit noisy for our senior diners; for holiday dinner at Michelin restaurant, expected a second more substantial amuse bouche, beyond the yummy but tiny parmesan chive madeleines, especially since we were asked twice about lobster allergies."
Dined on 12/24/2013
The xmas brunch at Luce is not a
huge spread, but it has just enough and a good price. You can order one item off a small menu and there are buffet items as well. Everything was delicious!"
Dined on 12/25/2013
We had a reservation at 10:00 for
Christmas Day brunch. The website did not do a good job of explaining that until 11, it's only breakfast. We arrived late (they were accommodating about that) but the receptionist was less than helpful. We wanted to make sure they could seat us for acual brunch; and she was very confused about our question. We went round and round and ultimately decided to stay. They were put out when we asked to be seated just before 11 (after previosly offering this option). It would probably be OK for a regular day, and maybe I was spoiled from "Top of the Mark" at Thanksgiving, but I would not recommend it for a special occasion. I will say that Luis, our server was very nice and attentive."
Dined on 12/25/2013
We had Timothy as our waiter and
he was incredibly knowlegeable about our food and the wine pairing. The wines were perfectly paired with our 9 course meal!! Will definitely go back."
Dined on 12/27/2013
Our server Joe was excellent. The
food was outstanding - Even though we got the tasting menu (9 courses), we could have eaten more. The portions were fairly tiny."
Dined on 12/21/2013
The food was scrumptious and the
prix fixe holiday brunch let us sample a variety of types of dishes plus try an a la carte entree. I had the salmon eggs benedict and my husband had the burger with truffle fries. Both were excellent! Would love to try the restaurant again when it's not prix fixe!"
Dined on 12/25/2013
The talent of the chef and cooking
staff was evident in every dish. The combination of flavors left us wondering how they could combine so many flavors and textures with such a sublime result. If you are not familiar with Grappa, eating at Luce is like an introductory course to this unique and enticing beverage. And, finally, the service. When I go to a high-end restaurant I don't want to be treated as if the serving staff are my servants. Our waiter at Luce was a joy, down to earth, funny, engaging, attentive and clearly a professional. All of the servers were very pleasant making our dinning experience at Luce truly exceptional."
Dined on 12/24/2013
Great food, elegantly presented.
Another wonderful prefix menu for Christmas."
Dined on 12/24/2013
Stay away from the prix fixe menu.
The Sommelier is worth listening to when pairing wine with your food is important to your meal. He has a great palate for enhancing your food experience."
Dined on 12/24/2013
Very good attention, very good
food and wine list. I recommend!"
Dined on 12/22/2013
Ordered the winter tasting menu of
3 items: green risotto topped by a soft-boiled egg and hazelnuts. Weird but interesting. A too-rare steak with chanterelle mushrooms came next, followed by the damnedest dessert I've ever had - olive oil panna cotta with winter citrus bits. The chef sent out a clot of broccoli salad (roughly about a tablespoon) as an amuse bouche, described as "broccoli three ways" - are you kidding me with this? My companion ordered a simple green salad with champagne vinaigrette (NOT on menu). The meticulous description of every course once it arrived was a little pretentious and a lot laughable. Very good olive bread, service attentive, but we spent a good hour of our visit here waiting. A Michelin star ... REALLY?!"
Dined on 12/22/2013
The staff at Luce made us feel
like Super Stars. We were the center of attention. The food was wonderful. We had 7 in our party, having a business lunch and we were all impressed. Loved the bright sun chiming in the Windows, the friendly, professional staff. Thanks."
Dined on 12/18/2013
I was there for a business dinner
(table of 6). It was a Thursday night so the restaurant and bar were both really busy. Our server was super attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and the food was divine. I'll definitely be going back!"
Dined on 12/12/2013
If coming here for lunch or brunch
on a clear day, make sure you dress for very warm weather. The sun beating on the 20' windows, even though they have sheer coverings, makes for a very warm atmosphere. Air conditioning runs all year even on really nice cool days. Because of the busy streets it's on there is no option for opening windows for fresh air. Food was good."
Dined on 12/15/2013
Found Luce while browsing
OpenTable. Very modern and trendy (I'm thinking West Hollywood/ Westside) but with the service you would expect from Intercontinental. Our server was pleasant and helpful, I believe his name was James (?) We shared the Sweetbread Ravioli, Salmon Confit, Roasted Lamb Loin and Breast of Chicken. I LOVED the Ravioli and Lamb, he LOVED the Salmon and Chicken. I don't normally like Salmon but it was quite tasty. Being in the luxury hospitality business myself, I have VERY high expectations for hotels and restaurants. I highly recommend Luce if you're in San Francisco and looking for an excellent culinary experience..."
Dined on 12/7/2013
this was a lovely place and chef
obviously trying very hard to be creative but I (who consider myself experienced in the world of nouvelle cuisine) found the portions to be microscopic and very, very pricey. The appetizers were about two bites total and the entrees about 6 bites. Lots of teeny, tiny little sauce dots and miniature mushrooms, etc. (well, one of each actually) but very little substantial food. My friend who is a very light eater said it was very small and not worth the money. We each had an entree and one appetizer only, plus I had one glass of wine only, and she had none. The total bill for us was over $175 with tax and tip. Overpriced. I went home hungry and had to have a sizable snack a few hours later."

Eyelash Extensions at Clare's by Christina Passanise-
Just moved here from Las Vegas and was desperately searching for someone who could do the eyelash extensions. I found Christina Passanise all over the internet so I booked the appointment and I LOVE them! Her lashes are made of Silk and are very soft and comfortable to wear! I was pleased to know that they are very reasonably priced as I have them filled every two weeks. So happy!!!!
Clare's of Clayton Salon is a hidden GEM!
I just visited Clare's of Clayton for the first time while having a trial for my wedding with their makeup artist, Christina. I was greeted immediately by a friendly front desk girl and offered something to drink. The salon is super cute and welcoming. I was super nervous about having my makeup done and Christina made me feel very comfortable in her abilities and needless to say I was astonished by how glamourous I looked! What she did was exactly what I wanted as I provided a picture- The airbrush makeup is fabulous! I will be recommending Christina and Clare's to all of my girlfriends!
WORST SALON EXPERIENCE EVER – I went in for a cut and highlights and from the moment I walked in I was greeted by a rude receptionist named Donna... I gave Clare a picture of what I wanted my hair to look like and she obviously didnt care because when she was done my hair was orange and cut way too short... I was given water in a dirty glass and there were dust bunnies and hair all over the floor, I was disgusted with the place and will never go back....
Not the Best Salon!!! – I recently called into this salon and talked to a girl named Danna. She was very rude and had no intention to helping me with my appointments. I am new to the area and was looking for a great salon to get a great upscale hairstyle. This place wasn't what I thought it would have been. The next day I go into the salon to see about an appointment and the same Danna was there, she was still the same as the day before on the phone. She was very rude, not helpful, and didn't care about her job it seemed like. The front of the salon was dirty and the employees didn't look to happy. So I went to the salon down the street "Ethos Aveda". They were very helpful and loved the atmosphere. They are a newer salon with many great stylist that can make you beautiful. :)
Excellent service, price, and hair cut! – I love this salon. I moved to St. Louis from the west coast ad have been invariably unhappy with my experiences at other salons. This is the first place that I have returned to more than once. And I will keep going back as long as I live here. Great price for the quality of cut and service. Around $50 for a cut and style. Very friendly staff. For once a St. Louis salon that didn't try to cut my hair into that horrid Missouri bob that seems so popular everywhere else.
Shady business practice – I just left Clare's of Clayton less than an hour ago and am very unhappy, I had not been there before but had heard good things about the salon and the reviews here and elsewhere are good. I went there for a keratin straightening procedure. Prior to booking the appointment I called to find out the price and learn about the procedure. I was told it cost $200.00 although it could be more for individuals with very long hair. I said my hair is shoulder length and the receptionist said it should be about $200.00. I booked the appointment and was told it would take about 3 hours.
When I arrived I was greeted promptly, offered something to drink and waited only a brief period of time before my stylist got me. I have no complaint about the ambience, stylist, etc. I arrived at noon and left with my hair straighted at 2. However, when I went to check out the receptionist told me my fee was $300.00. I was stunned. I replied that I was told the fee was $200.00. He replied, "Starting at." That's it. Blank stare waiting for my payment. Seriously, my hair just brushes the top of my shoulders.
So, my $200.00 procedure cost $300.00 and my 3 hour appt only took 2 hours. A great deal for Clare's of Clayton. I have no idea how long or well this treatment will hold up.
I will never go back. If you do go I suggest that before anyone does anything to your hair that you confirm the fee. I am quite disgusted by their business practice.
Unfriendly Staff, Bad Energy – I am so glad my stylist left Clare's!! Every time I would go in for my appointment I could feel the negative energy in this salon.
This is not a friendly salon environment, from the cold, hard walls, to the harsh and abrasive lighting, I do not recommend Clare's as a relaxing salon experience.
The stylists are unfriendly and you can really tell they do not work together as a team. It is unfortunate, going to the salon should be a relaxing and fun experience. One I will not miss at Clare's.
Great Atmosphere and Service!!! Love the hair they do! – Good location and they treated me well. They have an educated staff and my hair has never looked better!

Mark Wahlberg, who did his own stunts in "Lone Survivor", almost got killed while shooting the film.
To make the movie about US Navy Seals in Aghanistan look authentic, no green screens or computer-generated special effects were used while filming. And in that pursuit of realism, people really did get injured on the set.
In one sequence, director Peter Berg blew a mortar on Wahlberg's face from less than two feet away and it turned out to be a very close call.
"I did blow him up, by accident, That was close. We almost lost Mark, for real," Berg, said in a statement.
Mark Wahlberg joins Steve Edwards and Lisa Breckenridge on Good Day L.A.
Fun Facts About Mark Wahlberg: (Source: Wikipedia)
1) He is an American actor, producer, model, and former rapper. He was known as Marky Mark in his earlier years, becoming famous for his 1991 debut as frontman with the band Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. He later transitioned to acting, and is now known for his roles in films including Boogie Nights (1997), Three Kings (1999), The Perfect Storm (2000), Planet of the Apes (2001), Rock Star (2003), The Fighter (2010), and Lone Survivor (2013). He has also served as executive producer of the HBO series' Entourage, Boardwalk Empire, and How to Make It in America.
2) Wahlberg began recording as Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, earning a hit with "Good Vibrations" from the album Music for the People. The record, produced by brother Donnie, hit No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100, later becoming certified as a platinum single. The second single, "Wildside", peaked at No. 5 on Billboards Hot Singles Sales chart and at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was certified as a gold single. Marky Mark opened for the New Kids on the Block during their last tour. The second Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch LP, You Gotta Believe, was not as successful as the prior, yielding only a minor hit single in the title track. Wahlberg later collaborated with the late reggae/ragga singer Prince Ital Joe on the album Life in the Streets. Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch also had their own video game, titled Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch: Make My Video, which despite the band's success was a huge flop. The project combined rap and ragga vocals with strong eurodance music (as in the singles Happy People, German No. 1 hit United, Life in the Streets, and Babylon) courtesy of Frank Peterson and Alex Christensen as producers.
3) Wahlberg dropped the "Marky Mark" name and began an acting career, making his debut in the 1993 TV movie The Substitute. His big screen debut came the next year, with the Danny DeVito feature Renaissance Man. A basketball fanatic, he caught the attention of critics after appearing in The Basketball Diaries in 1995, playing the role of Mickey alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, in a film adaptation of the Jim Carroll book of the same name. He also starred in the 1996 James Foley thriller Fear.
'Lone Survivor' is now playing.
